亲爱的父母/监护人,
I hope that your children enjoyed their first full week back at school. Our student leaders created a week filled with wonderful activities centering on our core values, and it was truly heartwarming to once again see joy on this campus. I cannot tell you how inspiring it is to see our 学生 excited to be with their peers and 老师, ready to jump with both feet into the school year.
I write today to follow up with information I spoke about in the recent grade level orientations. 2018年，正规赌博十大平台排行创建了一个正式的 边界政策 教职员工. Though it was published before we began our investigation and is currently housed under the Community Wellness and Resources tab (and on the Student Life section) on our website, I am bringing it directly to your attention so that you understand our policies and procedures with regard to sexual misconduct as it concerns employee/student relationships. 这是政策 and I ask that you take time to read it as a family. We will also go over our Branson 边界政策 in advisory in the coming weeks, so that 学生 have a chance to ask any questions.
I also want you to be aware of the formal training we do with our employees to further educate them on this topic. 令人惊讶的是, independent schools are not 法律规定 to conduct mandated reporter training every year. However, completing it annually is considered best practice. In addition to our work with the 边界政策, all of our employees undergo mandated reporter training in the fall of each school year. We also have each employee read and acknowledge the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Law (P.C. 11166.5) and lastly, we do training on sexual harassment and abusive conduct every two years.
The health and safety of your children is of paramount importance to us, and we aim to ensure that sexual abuse never again happens at Branson. This responsibility weighs heavily on me as the leader of the school, and I want to make sure that everyone in our community – employees, 学生, and parents – implicitly understand our expectations and know where to go for assistance should they need it. I spent a good deal of time going over this with faculty and staff in our opening meetings, 并把它送给了正规赌博十大平台排行所有的教练. I believe that preventing this kind of abuse is the responsibility of every member of this community, and addressing it head on and making sure everyone has the same information is of utmost importance.
请知道，在分享这条信息, 我不是想吓唬你, but rather to proactively engage all of us in the job of protecting your children. I've included an FAQ below to help answer some of the questions you may have. Thank you for your partnership in this important work.
真诚地,
克里斯Mazzola
校长

边界政策常见问题
什么是委任记者? 在十大网赌平台推荐，哪些成年人是强制记者?
被授权的记者是任何被授权的人 法律规定 to report a particular category or type of abuse to the appropriate law enforcement or social service agency. At Branson, all 老师, staff, administration, and 教练 are mandated reporters. This means that if we learn of or suspect abuse, we are required to call Child Protective Services or the police. Mandated reporters are required to give their names when making a report. However, the reporter's identity is kept confidential. Reports of suspected child abuse are also confidential. Mandated reporters have immunity from state criminal or civil liability for reporting as required
If I as a parent have concerns, or need to report something, what should I do?
If you have concerns about the safety and well being of any student at Branson, 或者害怕自己被性侵, 你应该向我伸出援手(克里斯·马佐拉), 金正日Fahlen, 正规赌博十大平台排行的学校辅导员, 或塞布丽娜·威尔逊, 正规赌博十大平台排行的学生主任, 正规赌博十大平台排行将决定接下来的步骤. We generally work through these situations as a threesome, so you may contact whomever you feel most comfortable with. You may also contact law enforcement directly, but you are not 法律规定 to do so.
What happens when the school files a report with the police or Child Protective Services?
After we have given the information to law enforcement, they are required to investigate the matter and reach out to anyone they need to speak with to complete the investigation. Cases may also be investigated by Child Welfare Services when allegations involve abuse or neglect within families. Once Branson has made a report, the case is in the hands of the police. They will update us if needed during the investigation.
Are parents, volunteers, or team parents mandated reporters?
学校义工及家长, 虽然不是强制记者, should report any suspected cases of abuse and neglect to the appropriate people at the school, 谁来接手呢.
Why can't a coach or teacher give my student a ride home from school, practices, or games?
Our 边界政策 is meant to be preventative in nature. We try to avoid any situations in which 学生 would be alone with a single employee. 鉴于这种, 教练, 老师, and staff should not drive individual 学生 home from games or practices.
